PRESS RELEASE

April 24, 2003

Avnet, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2003 Results
Positive Cash Flow Generation Continues


Phoenix, Arizona — Avnet, Inc. (NYSE:AVT) today reported third quarter fiscal 2003 revenues and earnings. On quarterly revenues of $2.34 billion, the Company reported net income of $1.5 million, or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis, including special charges associated with the early extinguishment of debt discussed below. Net income, excluding special charges associated with the early extinguishment of debt, was $9.6 million, or $0.08 per share on a diluted basis, up $10.9 million over the prior year third quarter net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis. Operating income was $36.2 million, up from $23.0 million in the prior year third quarter. Operating income margin increased 51 basis points year-over-year to 1.55% in the current quarter.

The Company reported that it further reduced working capital and net debt (debt less cash) during the March 2003 quarter. The Company generated free cash flow (as defined later in this release) of approximately $97 million, primarily through cash generation from operations including further reductions in working capital. Of the $97 million of free cash flow generated during the March 2003 quarter, $115 million was added to cash and cash equivalents offset by a net $18 million increase in debt.

Consolidated third quarter fiscal year 2003 revenues rose year-over-year by $126.0 million, or 5.7%, but decreased slightly by $6.2 million, or less than 1%, from the prior sequential quarter. Electronics Marketing (EM) revenues grew by 7% sequentially to $1.29 billion for the quarter, representing an increase of 6% year-over-year. Computer Marketing (CM) revenues were $628.1 million, a sequential decrease of 8%, but up 14% year-over-year. Applied Computing (AC) revenues declined sequentially by 8% to $422.1 million, and were down approximately 6% as compared with the prior year third quarter due to lower sales into the PC Builder customer base.

In connection with the early redemption of $159 million of its outstanding 6.45% Notes due August 15, 2003 and $220 million of its 8.20% Notes due October 17, 2003, Avnet recorded a charge during the March 2003 quarter of $13.5 million pre-tax and $8.2 million after-tax, or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis. These charges related to premiums paid to note holders in cash tender offers and expenses associated with the repayments. Interest expense saved by redeeming the debt early will more than offset the cost of the tender offers.

Commenting on the Company’s operating results, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Roy Vallee, stated, “We continue to see stability in the technology end-markets we serve, and this quarter we saw a slight improvement in the electronic components markets worldwide. Enterprise revenues were higher than we expected due to higher than anticipated growth in our Electronics Marketing group and the stronger Euro.”

Mr. Vallee also noted: “Despite enterprise revenues declining slightly from the prior sequential quarter, net income, excluding special charges, increased by $2.5 million sequentially and for the third quarter in a row we achieved year-over-year growth in net income excluding special charges. Our results reflect our commitment to improving our profitability and working capital productivity as we manage through this difficult technology cycle.”

Mr. Vallee went on to say, “We are realizing the benefits of our organization’s efforts to size the business to the current market environment, and we will continue to develop a business model that facilitates shareholder value creation. Specifically, Applied Computing is currently restructuring its approach to the PC Whitebox System Builder market. While not exiting this customer segment, we are reducing our exposure to the pricing irrationality embedded in this market which limits our ability to create and sustain acceptable economic returns. This restructuring will result in enhanced profitability at AC, as annualized expense reductions will more than offset the impact of any loss of revenue. Annualized expense reductions are currently estimated at approximately $10 million, and we expect to record a special charge of approximately a similar amount related to that restructuring in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003.”

Ray Sadowski, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Interest expense for the quarter was up approximately $2.3 million on a sequential quarterly basis as a result of our recent issuance of $475 million of bonds and the tender offers for the outstanding 2003 Notes. This sequential increase in interest expense was partially offset by higher other income attributable primarily to favorable currency fluctuations. Working capital productivity metrics improved again during the quarter, we further reduced net debt, and available liquidity in the aggregate stands at over $800 million in excess of our current calendar 2003 and 2004 bond maturities.” Mr. Sadowski further commented, “Our value-based management initiative is clearly and measurably impacting the business. Our operating leverage is high, cash generation is continuing, our balance sheet is strong, and we are well positioned to accelerate earnings growth when market growth resumes.”

Providing guidance on the June 2003 quarter, Mr. Vallee stated, “We anticipate continued slight growth at EM, in the low single digit range. We expect AC revenues to be down seasonally in the 20% range and CM sales are expected to decline 5-10% sequentially from the unusually strong March quarter. As a result, we expect June 2003 quarter consolidated revenues to be in the range of $2.25 to $2.30 billion, and earnings per share to be between $0.03 and $0.08, including the incremental special charges associated with the restructuring discussed above, and between $0.08 and $0.11 excluding such charges.”

Mr. Vallee concluded by stating, “Looking out to our 2004 fiscal year, we expect to see meaningful improvement in profitability fueled by modest growth in the markets we serve as the next technology up cycle inevitably begins. However, to the extent that the technology markets continue to move sideways, we will take additional cost reduction actions as appropriate to provide acceptable profitability.”

For the first three quarters of fiscal 2003, Avnet reported revenues of $6.86 billion as compared with $6.78 billion in the first three quarters of fiscal 2002. The Company also reported a net loss, including special charges, of $57.7 million, or $0.48 per share on a diluted basis, for the first three quarters of fiscal 2003 as compared with a net loss of $603.5 million, or $5.10 per share on a diluted basis, including the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, for the first three quarters of fiscal 2002. Excluding special charges the Company reported net income of $16.2 million, or $0.13 per share on a diluted basis, for the first three quarters of fiscal 2003. This compares with a net loss, before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, of $23.0 million, or $0.19 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in fiscal 2002.

Non-GAAP and Pro forma Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company also discloses pro forma or non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain items. Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to investors to better assess and understand operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods. Management believes the pro forma measures also help indicate underlying trends in the business. Management also uses pro forma measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes.

However, analysis of results and outlook on a pro forma or non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the Company’s analysis of results to GAAP for the current quarter are attached.

The Company’s determination of free cash flow referenced earlier is illustrated in the table below. Amounts for the nine months ended March 28, 2003 are taken directly from the attached Statement of Cash Flows and the amounts for the quarter are derived by subtracting the amounts from the Statement of Cash Flows for the first half of the fiscal year from the nine-month number.

(1)   The Company has an accounts receivable securitization program whereby it sells an interest in a pool of its trade accounts receivable to third party conduits through a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The purpose of the program is to provide the Company with an additional source of liquidity at interest rates more favorable than it could receive through other forms of financing. At March 28, 2003 and June 28, 2002, the Company had sold $0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, of receivables under the program. This is reflected as a reduction of receivables, with the proceeds used to pay down debt, in the above consolidated balance sheets.
 
(2)   At March 28, 2003, cash and cash equivalents include $79.5 million of restricted cash held in an escrow account. This cash will be used to repay the remaining $41.0 million in principal outstanding on the 6.45% Notes due August 15, 2003 and the remaining $29.9 million in principal outstanding on the 8.20% Notes due October 17, 2003 plus the remaining interest payments on this debt through its maturity.
